She was busy doing something called campaigning

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez apparently believes the “electoral system” is unfair because she can’t receive her congressional salary until she’s actually sworn in as a member of Congress.

On Thursday, the 29-year-old socialist spoke with The New York Times about her election victory on Tuesday.

But rather than discuss her ideas for Congress, Ocasio-Cortez complained about not being able to afford an apartment in Washington, D.C.

Given that she will not be sworn in as a member of Congress until January, the Democratic socialist complained about not receiving her congressional salary for another three months.

“I have three months without a salary before I’m a member of Congress, so how do I get an apartment?” Ocasio-Cortez said. “Those little things are very real.”

Ocasio-Cortez said she and her “partner” have been saving money since her days as a bartender in New York, but decried that it wasn’t enough to get her an apartment in D.C.

I’ve always thought states should maintain congressional residences in DC. DC is an expensive place to live when you are also maintaining a residence in your home state

She's a socialist, ffs. She has no idea how money works.

But she makes a damn good Margarita.

This is what right wing trash blogs do. They take a casual remark about the high cost of residential real estate in the District and completely rewrite it into a false claim that she actually expected to be paid before she was sworn in, something she never said, and which the New York Times did not claim. The right wing trash blog just made it up.

And all the talk radio right wingers on this thread took it at face value without question and started parroting the fake claim.

Then why not get us a link. Quote, video of what she supposedly did say...
to prove your point, of course, if you can!

Over 3 hours and NOTHING to dispute what she said....I guess TommyBoy lied!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Slams Fox News For Laughing At Her DC Rent Problem

What a bimbo

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Slams Fox News For Laughing At Her DC Rent problem Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who this week became the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, called out Fox News for belittling her struggle to afford an apartment in Washington, D.C., during a Friday panel discussion on “America’s Newsroom.”

• 
  The Fox panelists snickered all the way through their chat on the topic, described in a chyron as: “Self-proclaimed socialist says she can’t afford DC rent.”
  
  Contributor Judy Miller actually laughed after host Bill Hemmer recalled that Ocasio-Cortez ― whose name no one pronounced correctly on the show ― was working in the service industry before she launched into her campaign to represent New York’s 14th District.

She worked in the "service" industry, think about it.

Problem solved....

She still lives in NYC -- its not as easy to pay DC rent and NYC rent -- especially if you are NOT a rich elitist....

I find it funny that Trump lovers are mocking a woman for not being rich or elite, for not being establishment -- and most importantly, you are mocking a woman who didn't use her campaign funds for her own personal expenses (Duncan Hunter) -- and who didn't have lobbyists rent her homes at dirt cheap prices (Scott Pruitt) -- but you folks want to talk about "drain the swamp"??

Trump supporters are pathetic...

She is a schizophrenic totally disconnected from reality

Oh and she is also a bimbo

 

[John Shaw]

I don't like her, but for different reasons; I think she is riding a wave and is actually kind of unintelligent. But to attack her for not being wealthy is kinda ridiculous.
